I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 228 [Heat is rising]

The black-skinned foreign teacher who was lucky enough to experience the 5D viewing effect asked for leave.

Probably the impact of such advanced technology was too great, which had a certain impact on his psychology.

Obviously, Lu Zhengyi had asked the snow girl in the Nuo noodles to restrain herself and control the yin energy to only have a certain impact on the surrounding temperature, but he still called in sick.

"It's a pity."

Lu Zhengyi, who came out of the teaching building and was heading towards the teaching building, said with some regret, "I originally wanted to hear what this black-skinned man who has traveled to many countries and witnessed many cultural differences thought of this film. .”

As a person who can take root in a country like Japan, which is extremely anti-black, there is no doubt that he has academic qualifications that this school cannot refuse.

And from some information they just saw in the teacher's office, this black-skinned foreign teacher had lived in Stars and Stripes, Britain, Gaul... for a short period of time before coming to the Republic of China.

As a person from another continent, some of his reflections can definitely give Lu Zhengyi some intuitive effects.

But unfortunately, he took a leave of absence.

"It seems that there is no way to hold a fan meeting here." Zhang Xueming also had some regrets on his face. "The original idea of ​​using him to enter the campus openly and ask the students' opinions face to face was scrapped."

Originally, she thought that by directly reading online comments, she could get a more accurate judgment with the help of larger data.

But now she has changed her mind. Perhaps offline investigation is more intuitive.

Especially just now, when they came to the teaching building from the path beside the green belt, they overheard what the two female students were discussing.

'They know that the director of The Grudge is from Tang Dynasty, but they don't dislike this work because of stereotypes. '

'At the same time, they have also seen Lu Zhengyi's other works. '

'Furthermore, from the words, it seems that they have watched a lot of horror movies and have a certain foundation in psychological endurance, but after watching The Grudge, they still had some uncomfortable psychological reactions...'

……

Compared with the simple words in the comments, such as 'very scary', 'good-looking', 'so scary...' and other pale words, you can really see the reactions of these audiences in reality, from words , expressions, body movements... In these aspects, Zhang Xueming knew more information in just a few sentences, and it was more real.

If an impromptu fan meeting can be held here, they can get a lot of valuable opinions. At the same time, this meeting will also further promote the reputation of Grudge.

"It was originally an impromptu idea after hearing the conversation between the two students. If there is no way to achieve it, forget it." Lu Zhengyi replied casually, "But at this stage, the level of promotion of the curse is still quite high, at least in these areas Grudges have become a hot topic among young people."

"It seems that in terms of the quality of the film, we succeeded, and the rest is just a matter of time."

"Next, as long as we work steadily, I expect that after one or two movies are completed, we should be able to fully enter the Chinese market."

At this point, he paused, "When the time comes, even if you write the name of a Tang nationality on the movie's promotional poster, you won't be affected by stereotypes."

"No matter what they think of Tang Guo's horror films, they can treat the horror films I made with the mentality of an ordinary audience, and that's enough."

They now sneaked into the school secretly to observe, and their goal was half achieved.

As for the fan meeting, he just said it casually.

It is not easy to enter the academy for interviews and events.

Especially, they are as foreigners.

If you want to enter a school related to Chinese education, you must negotiate with many parties. Just being introduced by a foreign teacher is only the first step to achieve a preliminary understanding.

Moreover, Lu Zhengyi was actually not sure about persuading the foreign teacher to help introduce him.

"Then we can only collect information inadvertently."

Zhang Xueming stopped by the school wall and replied helplessly, "This will be a lot of trouble."

As she spoke, she stretched out her arms.

"But it will be more real, isn't it?" Lu Zhengyi picked her up by the waist, and then jumped forward casually, "Actually, even if we take the initiative to hold a fan meeting and meet them face to face, they may not be able to express their best feelings. Authentic reaction.”

"Maybe because I am the director and you are the investor, and it is a face-to-face situation, I will give a more tactful evaluation."

"But if it is unknowingly, like the two female students just now, inadvertently expressing feelings in daily chat, it will be more helpful."

As he spoke, he climbed over the fence steadily, the soles of his shoes pressing on the ground outside the school.

As for the two people who climbed over the wall from the school and behaved strangely, other people on the roadside turned a blind eye and naturally passed by them.

Lu Zhengyi put her down and suggested:
"Let's sit in a famous nearby cafe first and listen to what other customers are talking about."

"In the evening, take the tram to another business district to have dinner."

"Then we'll go shopping in the mall, and then go to a nearby theater to see the crowds."

Zhang Xueming nodded, "Okay."

These places are quite casual and have a lot of traffic.

People who have nothing to do will always chat when they get together. In addition to work and family, they will occasionally insert some recent hot topics. This is what they want to know about.

……

In the next few days, the couple wandered around the country.

In addition to some prosperous business districts, they have also visited other areas that are not economically developed.

Market research work such as information collection and data statistics is usually done by junior employees who have just joined the company.

After all, you need to run errands everywhere, and you may not be able to collect useful information, which is quite thankless.

But because this film is the beginning of exploring overseas markets, they both attach great importance to it and come here specifically to learn more about it.

They are paying attention to the review trend here, and they are also paying attention to the box office data.

The box office on the first day was 900 million yen, the next day's box office was 7000 million 50 million yen, 8000 million yen...

The society in the Republic of China is paying more and more attention to the curse.

As the topic continues to rise, the box office data will also increase, and the mobilization rate will gradually increase.

In just a few days, the box office of "The Grudge" in Heguo exceeded 3000 million yuan, although the equivalent of Tang Yuan was only more than [-] million yuan.

But this also means that there are nearly 54 people from the Republic of China, or in other words, nearly 54 people in the land of the Republic of China, using Japanese dollars to buy tickets and enter the theater to watch movies!
Compared with the mobilization rate on the first day of release, this figure has increased almost ten times!
": I always thought Jackie's movies were all comedies. Well, this time I made a mistake. It was a very bad movie-watching experience!" ": I couldn't understand what others said before, between Western horror and Eastern horror. The difference, but this time I understand it, I swear this is the creepiest movie I have ever seen, those zombie movies are so weak compared to this movie!"

": Although this movie has not been introduced in China, fortunately I am traveling in Southern Korea now. This is the best horror movie I have ever seen in my life, bar none!"

": Because there is no foreign language version, I chose Tang language. To be honest, although I have studied Tang language for a period of time, I was still a little reluctant in this film where Tang language and Japanese languages ​​​​convert from time to time. I hope When this film is introduced into China, I can help translate it.”

": If you don't look at the face, Kayako is actually quite cute. I like her skin color very much~"

": It can be seen that the actor has strong yoga skills and his body is very flexible. The moment he crawled out twisted in the movie, it reminded me of those alien zombies."

……

At the same time, a large number of netizens commented on Little Blue Bird.

Unlike domestic Weibo, because the Internet in China does not have high walls, this craze quickly attracted netizens from other countries to pay attention to this matter.

This is the purpose of overseas development. It is not aimed at the country of Heguo, but all foreign countries except the Tang Dynasty. '

With this craze, in addition to the two main broadcasting regions of Tang and He, regions such as Nanchao and Xiang that had some theaters introducing and showing the film have also achieved good box office results.

Many tourists who came to Dongzhou went to the theater because of the sharing by many Chinese netizens.

What followed was the expansion of more theater chains.

"Hello, hello, Mr. King."

Wako Tokyo Airport, departure area,
Beside Lu Zhengyi, Zhang Xueming was holding a mobile phone and negotiating something on the phone in fluent Korean, "Of course, we very much welcome you to introduce our film sources to your theaters. "

"Yes, I am already at the airport and preparing to return to China. Sorry, in addition to the Southern Dynasty, we also have some theater directors from other regions communicating with us, so there is no way to go directly to the Southern Dynasty to negotiate with you."

"Understood, I will also ask other persons in charge in our company to confirm with you the relevant meeting progress. We will arrange a remote meeting as soon as possible to discuss more contract details..."

Although it is said that The Grudge was released not only in the War Kingdom, but also in the Eastern Continent such as the Southern Dynasty Kingdom and the Elephant Kingdom, countries with relatively developed entertainment.

But based on the subject matter, it mainly focuses on the language and daily cultural content of the Republic of China.

Such as the architectural style of the house, the furnishings in the house, the makeup of the actors...

Therefore, in some other regions, it was entirely due to some previous relationships with Light and Shadow Media that they provided a certain number of theater support, just like the original First Commandment.

But things are different now. As a hot topic on Little Blue Bird, The Grudge is no longer enough to be satisfied by a "certain number" of theaters.

At least judging from the comments on the Internet, many viewers in other regions were forced to give up because they couldn't get tickets.

But how could their theater chains not want to earn this money!
Lu Zhengyi looked at Zhang Xueming making one phone call after another, and shook his head helplessly, "It's true that the plan can't keep up with the changes."

Who would have thought that in a foreign country with limited marketing means, the topic of the curse would rise inexplicably.

In a few days, the data was like the red line of stocks in the bull market, rising slowly.

As a horror film that has always been niche, this is not an ordinary thing.

But this also resulted in them being forced to suspend an external survey. To be honest, Lu Zhengyi was quite regretful.

This can be considered a honeymoon trip.

Since getting married, Lu Zhengyi has not traveled alone with Zhang Xueming. Like when he was filming The Grudge, the idea of ​​inviting her to enjoy the flowers together was shelved due to busy work. It just so happened that this time, it was done. One try.

In addition to collecting and observing these days, the two of them also visited many large and small places.

A honeymoon at public expense is just that.

But now, this happy journey is coming to an end.

"I'll be busy next time."

Just after hanging up the phone, Zhang Xueming pulled the suitcase and stood up.

But even though she said that, there was a smile on her face.

Under this craze, theaters from many countries in Dongzhou came to them for cooperation and wanted to introduce films.

And this also means the initial success of this overseas development.

Although there are currently no theater connections in those Western countries, judging from the comments on Little Bluebird, there are many netizens from the Star-Spangled Kingdom, Britain, Eastern Frontier, and Maple Leaf Kingdom. As long as they are interested in the horror of this horror film If the degree of recognition is recognized, then subsequent introduction is probably only a matter of time.

"Originally, I was thinking that after about one or two movies, we would fully enter the Chinese market." Lu Zhengyi also stood up, "But now it seems that the goal should be changed to completely leave a reputation in the Dongzhou area. ."

The scope of recognition of the curse was much wider than he expected.

"we……"

Zhang Xueming was just about to say something while pushing her suitcase to board the plane.

But before she could say anything, the phone rang again.

Originally, she took out her phone with the intention of hanging up and turning it off.

But when she saw the name of the caller, Zhang Xueming still hesitated and answered the call.

"Little King."

Zhang Xueming followed Lu Zhengyi out of the airport and walked towards the plane parked in the open space in the distance.

"Manager, something unexpected happened."

Team Leader Wang's voice sounded very complicated, "Our film is banned in China."

"Ok?"

Zhang Xueming frowned and stopped, "Grudge?"

"Yes, curse."

Team leader Wang replied helplessly, "But fortunately, it is not the entire film that is banned, but only an uncut version. Currently, the cut version can still be screened normally."
